Verse 1:

E
  You really think that you’re bigger than this

G#m
  To the tune of ten thousand lisps

A
  Who would have thought we’d represent

  Is appreciated

  As it should be

  You take it all too seriously

(Repeat Intro but only twice) Verse 2:

E
  What better way to make an honest mistake

G#m
  Than a televised hand of fate

A
  When the world’s closing in on you

C
  A decision would be overdue

E
  Now nothing left is out of hand

G#m
  A stronger jaded man stands

A
  If the world is ending

C
  Then we toast to it

Refrain 2:

C#m    G#m
  I’m stronger now

A     E
  But not without

G#m                         A
  The right formula look for

E           G#m
  You taught me how

A       B
  I play the fool

A                 F#m
  I couldn’t have made without you

E            G#m
  What’s said is done

  Here’s all you get from me

G#/C
  Here’s all you get from me

  What’s there left to wait for?

C#m           A
  I’m down for whatever

E                     G#m
  What’s there left to wait for?
